The Herald SMS

I AM pleading with Harare City Council to help us in Marimba. The road which leads to Karimasango Housing Co-operative is choked with garbage. Litterbugs have turned this road into a health hazard. It is frightening to see children innocently playing on top of garbage. Please address this issue before lives are lost to cholera. — Janet Zange, Harare.

*** I was at Baobab Stadium when my beloved CAPS United snatched a precious point from Ngezi Platinum. But I was flabbergasted by the number of busy-like-bees 100-metre haulage trucks loaded with platinum ore. No wonder our ZANU-PF Government is asking for 51 percent from these resource looters. — Cde Bla Max Boomerang, Harare.

*** I am glad you are exposing corruption in schools. Can you please investigate school authorities who are increasing fees without consultation and audit reports? We wonder why the Primary and Secondary Education Ministry is letting these things happen. — Munyoro.

*** Companies must not be allowed to disregard workers’ rights. Imagine a company cutting workers’ salaries under the guise of exemption, firing workers under the guise of provisional judicial management and replacing long-serving workers with poorly-paid trainees. We are seeing these things in Karoi and nothing is being done to protect the workers. — W. Samu, Karoi.

*** It should be borne in mind by all and sundry that when the crowds spontaneously shout “Gushungo” at rallies they are acknowledging a liberation icon whom the world reveres. Those who regard the leader lightly and politically esteem themselves more than they should will be taught to know better by the people. — E.L Mukwereza, Chitungwiza.
